1948 Ford Mercury Exterior Mirror
I found an old thread on this but all the discussion was for closed cars. Other than cowl mount mirrors, what other options are out there for convertibles?

48 mercury door
What do you guys use to pull the doors shut on your cars? It seems like using the door handle would not be good and the arm rest is only attached to the door panel.

Thanks, I have a new tee but I was hoping to find the right fitting so I would not need to bend the lines to connect.
